- Game 7 of the World Series pulled a 7.4 demo. That was up just 14% from the Game 6 rating; despite the uncompelling game, it certainly would've been more on a Thursday. Still, it tied 2009's clinching Game 6 as the second-highest rated World Series game in 18-49 since the move to the current scheduling in 2007.
- With no lead-in (Chuck's final season returned to a 1.0), low overall viewing and extreme competition by Friday standards, Grimm somehow found a way to be the 2011-12 season's highest-rated regular Friday program so far on any network. It was also NBC's biggest drama premiere of the season (easily ahead of Prime Suspect (1.8) and The Playboy Club (1.6)), and only four drama episodes on the whole of NBC have done better this season. For this one night, at least, it's a big, pleasant surprise.
- Most affected in the face of the World Series was ABC, where 20/20 came back down to earth after last week's huge rating and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (1.0 at 8:00, 1.1 at 9:00) tumbled, particularly in its 9:00 episode. (The numbers below aren't accurate; the 8/7c and 9/8c episodes were down 17% and 35% respectively.)
